The website went on to point out Cleveland Cavaliers' forward LeBron James expressing his concerns for his former teammate this weekend.
"Wish I could be there by your side this very moment to tell a joke or something homie. Just to get your mind off what you're going through!" James said on his social media account. "But I know you're strong and will come back better than ever on and off the court."
ESPN meanwhile reported Heat coach Eric Spoelstra who visited the 10x All-Star NBA player on Saturday.
"It's been very emotional for all of us," Spoelstra said to the press. "I was in constant contact with CB. But he didn't know either until they were able to go through all the tests and see all the specialists. ... I can't imagine how tough it was for Chris and [his wife] Adrienne."
"We're not even thinking about [his return] right now. The most important thing is he'll be healthy again. We'll get a game plan as we continue to get more information," he went on to say.
As stated by the sports website, the medication required to such condition "typically requires at least six months of limited physical activity."
Chris Bosh won NBA championships with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013. He averaged 21.1 points and seven rebounds in the 44 games he played for this season.
